Ulthera: Ultrasound-Guided Lifting You Can See
Treatment Depth and Energy Planning Confirmed with Ultrasound Imaging
Ulthera delivers energy while ultrasound imaging is used to confirm treatment depth. Imaging is a tool for planning the treatment layer and does not guarantee that adverse effects will not occur. We examine the specific device model's approved indications in Korea and your individual condition to determine the treatment areas and energy.
Ulthera
Ulthera is a lifting treatment that uses ultrasound to stimulate deeper skin layers, including the dermis and fascial layer, to help improve elasticity. It is performed without an incision, and both the degree of improvement and duration vary between individuals.
Because the shot count and treatment areas vary with skin thickness and the degree of laxity, we recommend a personalized plan after assessment.

Check List
Knowledge Makes a Difference. SUGAR. These are the standards SUGAR Plastic Surgery follows in Ulthera treatment.
We use ultrasound imaging to confirm treatment depth and tissues, adjusting transducer placement and the energy plan. Imaging does not guarantee that adverse effects will not occur, and suitability is determined after examination.
We verify that the device and transducers are authentic, review the usage record, and provide a certificate of authenticity. Authentic equipment does not eliminate contraindications, precautions, or adverse reactions, which are assessed during your examination.
After assessing your individual facial structure, fat distribution, skin thickness, and goals, we plan the energy level and depth, shot distribution, and transducer direction.
Treatment Areas
We check the specific device model's approved indications in Korea and the structures beneath the skin to personalize the treatment area, depth, and energy.
Front Cheeks · Around the Nasolabial FoldsWe review the approved indications in Korea and the condition of your skin and tissues to determine suitability.
Lateral Cheekbones · Cheek AreaWe review the approved indications in Korea and the condition of your skin and tissues to determine suitability.

Procedure
Recovery
Recovery time varies by individual. All surgery carries the possibility of general side effects such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation, and results may vary. Please consult thoroughly with a specialist before surgery.
SAFETY INFORMATION
For a safe treatment plan, please review the potential risks, the information we need before treatment, and the symptoms that require immediate medical attention.
Redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, or tingling may occur and are usually temporary. Rarely, burns, blisters, persistent sensory changes, temporary muscle weakness, fat atrophy, or contour changes may occur.
Tell us about wounds or active infection in the treatment area, reduced sensation, neurologic disorders, pregnancy or breastfeeding, metal or electronic medical devices in the face, and previous lifting or filler treatment. A specialist will check device-specific contraindications and suitability.
Contact the clinic immediately if severe pain persists or if you develop blisters or burns, skin-color changes, new facial paralysis or muscle weakness, or loss of sensation. If you have difficulty breathing or a change in consciousness, call 119 or go to the emergency department immediately.
This is general safety information and is not a substitute for individualized medical care. Actual risks and contraindications may vary depending on the procedure, products used, and your health.
FAQ
Approval documentation does not specify one optimal shot count for every patient. We examine the treatment area and structures beneath the skin to personalize the depth, energy, and shot distribution.
There is no evidence for applying the same treatment interval to everyone. We assess your response and any adverse reactions to previous treatment before determining whether and when retreatment is needed.
The US FDA 510(k) indications cannot be assumed to be the same as the approved indications in Korea. We confirm the specific device model and its Korean approval to determine the treatment areas.
Pain varies by treatment area, energy, and individual response. The anesthesia method is determined after assessing medical history, treatment scope, and anesthesia risks; sedation anesthesia is not routinely recommended for everyone.
The onset, degree, and duration of change vary between individuals, so the same timeframe cannot be promised to everyone. Results are assessed with photographs and an examination at scheduled follow-up points.
The currently linked FDA documentation does not specify one shot count or retreatment interval for every patient. The treatment area, structures beneath the skin, and response to previous treatment must be examined to plan each treatment individually.
US FDA 510(k) indications cannot be treated as equivalent to the approved indications in Korea. The specific device model used and its Korean approval must be checked before advising which areas can be treated.
